Several cases of liver cancers as well as a few colorectal and ovarian cancers showed moderate staining. Remaining cancer tissues showed weak cytoplasmic immunoreactivity or were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
KCNK10 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
K2p10.1, PPP1R97, TREK-2, TREK2
Description
Potassium channel, two pore domain subfamily K, member 10 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This channel is an open rectifier which primarily passes outward current under physiological K+ concentrations, and is stimulated strongly by arachidonic acid and to a lesser degree by membrane stretching, intracellular acidification, and general anaesthetics. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
